At The Spa Bath Company, we’re thrilled to unveil our new range of Bathe Easy Whirlpool Shower Baths, designed with one goal in mind: to make bathing a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for people with ailments and disabilities. As we step into 2025, we’re proud to offer a collection that combines cutting-edge whirlpool technology with thoughtful accessibility features, ensuring that everyone can reclaim the joy of a relaxing soak or a refreshing shower. Whether you’re managing chronic conditions, mobility challenges, or simply seeking a bathroom solution that prioritizes ease and independence, our Bathe Easy range is here to transform your daily routine.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the features that make these whirlpool shower baths a game-changer, explore how they cater to diverse needs, and highlight why they’re a must-have for accessible bathrooms across the UK. Plus, we’ll share an important note about VAT relief eligibility—a financial perk that can make these products even more accessible to those who need them most.

Why Bathe Easy Whirlpool Shower Baths?

Bathing can become a daunting task for individuals with disabilities or chronic ailments. Stepping over high tub edges, maintaining balance, or even sitting comfortably for extended periods can pose significant challenges. Traditional baths often fall short in addressing these needs, leaving many to compromise on safety or independence. That’s where our Bathe Easy Whirlpool Shower Baths come in.

Crafted in the UK with precision and care, this range blends the therapeutic benefits of whirlpool technology with practical design elements tailored for assisted and independent bathing. From low-entry thresholds to built-in seats, every detail has been thoughtfully engineered to provide a seamless experience. Whether you’re looking for a compact solution for a smaller bathroom or a luxurious upgrade with all the bells and whistles, our collection offers something for everyone.

Key Features of the Bathe Easy Range

Let’s take a closer look at what sets these whirlpool shower baths apart:

Low-Entry Access for Effortless Entry and Exit: One of the standout features of the Bathe Easy range is its low-entry design. Traditional baths often require users to lift their legs over a high edge—a task that can be risky or impossible for those with limited mobility. Our baths feature a watertight door and a low threshold, allowing you to step in and out with minimal effort. This design reduces the risk of slips and falls, making bathing safer and more accessible.

Integrated Seating for Comfort and Stability: Each Bathe Easy model comes with a built-in, slip-resistant seat, providing a secure and comfortable spot to sit while bathing. Whether you’re soaking in the tub or using the overhead shower, the seat eliminates the need to stand for long periods, which is especially beneficial for individuals with joint pain, arthritis, or fatigue-related conditions. The ergonomic design ensures you can relax without strain.

Whirlpool Therapy for Pain Relief and Relaxation: What truly elevates the Bathe Easy range is the inclusion of whirlpool jets—available in configurations of 12, or 24 jets, depending on the model. These jets deliver a gentle yet powerful massage, stimulating circulation and soothing aching muscles and joints. For people with ailments like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic back pain, this hydrotherapy feature can provide significant relief, turning a simple bath into a therapeutic retreat. The combination of warm water and massaging jets also promotes relaxation, helping to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Shower and Bath Combo for Versatility: Why choose between a bath and a shower when you can have both? The Bathe Easy Whirlpool Shower Baths feature an L-shaped design, offering ample space for showering alongside the soaking area. A sleek glass shower screen and a handheld or fixed showerhead ensure you can rinse off with ease, all while seated if needed. This versatility makes the baths ideal for users with varying preferences or those who share the bathroom with family members.

Durable, UK-Made Quality: Manufactured with high-quality acrylic shells by trusted British brands like Trojan and Beaufort, these baths are built to last. Reinforced for extra strength, they can withstand daily use while maintaining their glossy finish. Plus, with free delivery across the UK and a commitment to quality control, you can trust that your Bathe Easy bath will arrive in pristine condition, ready to enhance your bathroom.

Customizable Options: We understand that every user’s needs are unique. That’s why the Bathe Easy range offers customization options, from jet layouts to bath sizes (compact, standard, or large). If you don’t see the perfect configuration in our Assisted Independent Bathing category, get in touch—we can create a bespoke solution tailored to your specifications, delivered in as little as 14 days.

Who Can Benefit from Bathe Easy Whirlpool Shower Baths?

The Bathe Easy range is designed with inclusivity at its core, catering to a wide range of users:

People with Mobility Issues: Whether due to age, injury, or disability, reduced mobility can make standard baths impractical. The low-entry door, grab rails (available as accessories), and seated design empower users to bathe independently or with minimal assistance.

Individuals with Chronic Conditions: Conditions like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or diabetes often come with pain and stiffness. The whirlpool jets and warm water immersion offer therapeutic benefits, easing discomfort and improving quality of life.

Caregivers and Families: For those assisting loved ones, the Bathe Easy baths simplify the process. The accessible layout reduces strain on caregivers, while the durable construction ensures safety for all involved.

Anyone Seeking Comfort and Luxury: Even if you don’t have specific ailments, the combination of whirlpool therapy and modern design makes these baths a luxurious addition to any home.

VAT Relief: Making Accessibility More Affordable

Here’s some great news for UK residents: our Bathe Easy Whirlpool Shower Baths are eligible for VAT relief under HMRC guidelines. This means that if you’re purchasing one of these baths for personal use and have a chronic illness or disability, you can save 20% by claiming zero-rated VAT.

What is VAT Relief? In the UK, certain goods and services designed for people with disabilities or chronic conditions qualify for VAT exemption. This includes bathroom adaptations like our Bathe Easy range, which are specifically engineered to support independent living. By claiming VAT relief, the cost of your bath becomes more affordable, ensuring that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of a safer, more comfortable bathing experience.

Who Qualifies? You’re eligible if you’re chronically sick or disabled, meaning you have:  

A physical or mental impairment with a long-term, substantial impact on daily activities.  

A condition recognized by the medical profession as chronic, such as arthritis or diabetes.

Temporary conditions (e.g., a broken leg) or frailty due to age alone don’t qualify. If you’re unsure, consult your GP or refer to HMRC’s Notice 701/7.

How to Claim VAT Relief: Claiming is simple:  

Visit our VAT Relief Information Page for full details.  

Provide your name, address, and a brief description of your condition. A family member or carer can complete this on your behalf if needed.

Once submitted, the VAT will be deducted from your total—no extra paperwork is required. For more guidance, check out our VAT Relief Information Page or contact our team.
